The release +notes are a bit dense, due to the large amount of changes and new +features in this release. In the coming weeks we will be adding more +detailed documentation to the wiki and to the website. + +There has been a very long hiatus in Electrum releases, because it +took me a lot of time to decide about the new seed derivation method +and wallet structure. Now that this part is done, I hope that we will +resume to a faster release pace. + +I would like to thank all the people who contributed to this release, +developers, beta testers, but also people from this list who provided +useful feedback. + +Cheers, + +Thomas + +_____________________________ + +RELEASE-NOTES + +# Release 2.0 + +* Before you upgrade, make sure you have saved your wallet seed on +paper. + +* Documentation is now hosted on a wiki: http://electrum.orain.org + +* New seed derivation method (not compatible with BIP39). The seed +phrase includes a version number, that refers to the wallet +structure. The version number also serves as a checksum, and it +will prevent the import of seeds from incompatible wallets. Old +Electrum seeds are still supported. + +* New address derivation (BIP32). Standard wallets are single account +and use a gap limit of 20. + +* Support for Multisig wallets using parallel BIP32 derivations and +P2SH addresses ("2 of 2", "2 of 3"). + +* Compact serialization format for unsigned or partially signed +transactions, that includes the BIP32 master public key and +derivation needed to sign inputs. Serialized transactions can be +sent to cosigners or to cold storage using QR codes (using Andreas +Schildbach's base 43 idea). + +* Support for BIP70 payment requests: +- - Verification of the chain of signatures uses tlslite. +- - In the GUI, payment requests are shown in the 'Invoices' tab. + +* Support for hardware wallets: Trezor (Satoshilabs) and Btchip (Ledger). + +* Two-factor authentication service by TrustedCoin. This service uses +"2 of 3" multisig wallets and Google Authenticator. Note that +wallets protected by this service can be deterministically restored +from seed, without Trustedcoin's server. + +* Cosigner Pool plugin: encrypted communication channel for multisig +wallets, to send and receive partially signed transactions. + +* Audio Modem plugin: send and receive transactions by sound. + +* OpenAlias plugin: send bitcoins to aliases verified using DNSSEC. + +* New 'Receive' tab in the GUI: +- - create and manage payment requests, with QR Codes +- - the former 'Receive' tab was renamed to 'Addresses' +- - the former Point of Sale plugin is replaced by a resizeable +window that pops up if you click on the QR code + +* The 'Send' tab in the Qt GUI supports transactions with multiple +outputs, and raw hexadecimal scripts. + +* The GUI can connect to the Electrum daemon: "electrum -d" will +start the daemon if it is not already running, and the GUI will +connect to it. The daemon can serve several clients. It times out +if no client uses if for more than 5 minutes. + +* The install wizard can be used to import addresses or private +keys. A watching-only wallet is created by entering a list of +addresses in the wizard dialog. + +* New file format: Wallets files are saved as JSON. Note that new +wallet files cannot be read by older versions of Electrum. Old +wallet files will be converted to the new format; this operation +may take some time, because public keys will be derived for each +address of your wallet. + +* The client accepts servers with a CA-signed SSL certificate. + +* ECIES encrypt/decrypt methods, availabe in the GUI and using +the command line: +encrypt <pubkey> <message> +decrypt <pubkey> <message> + +* The Android GUI has received various updates and it is much more +stable. Another script was added to Android, called Authenticator, +that works completely offline: it reads an unsigned transaction +shown as QR code, signs it and shows the result as a QR code. +-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- +Version: GnuPG v1 + +iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJU8y7fAAoJECvVgkt/lHDm78oP/2uIqCyOwLsAJGkAI3CPFxtw +WssFJlnCnFiA4tPv5pd7HdOgxQkTaPbUHftexfdd/lpfmFvxZVoHcA/32IIKFH63 +BU2bnEyYOaW1A4XfNDQH6VG7eT2er1HOlHCtIgzRl0KJNmVggU6DnXnHkUs1PVvg +pyEIR7Xv3GiK7rcS4qCS/9COroqQGFOXJAiLnOaQP5KszT1bMUdoL7mBPTfavnla +LM+2MgKJOWv+JpHQCDp3XwAXX62LLsS2BjdK1Jt6OpGA6IuVQGBSaTIn5K81S+Yh +M6RDKbP3kObYQ+bzLvtWrzgUD3sdht/V8L5ZPS3+Jibvmhae2zRrm/YpJZ77Yjd4 +7QliCFGH0+Gwle72yOempFGWULwq7p6yo4dVZXpj1G3XmbZXuvFg4jYeC/usCx+T +kQgMBPWME2m80fCzhJew1pRChSs/lzVreB0Lh6Tm/5Pibmy721J4oUr6oLkaR9Uy +NMrYqnSy0+tCEOXHrpCYhqogyzzdjOlv0gWKqB2uSkO5TkEHv2eyHeiZttAn11qO +sb85q/k0kYQBZZEvKJ9022eyKHjejDhQjKsCVIHhb81BJ1QYnZFIxBiKkVMxf0u5 +sT2TTi18eOrYCUGD2WJ+ALyI1zN1sHO0/sn5+XzlC0jg+1KUXoo0j8NYnzmHb0Yx +5lbdlcaw0Uo7iWkFdMYT +=3DIGGP +-----END PGP SIGNATURE----- + + |
